June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[tinkerbelle93]

Lol I was checking in on my night feeds. Been up and down about ten times with Henry last night. And my boobs feel all sore and swollen like the start of mastitis but it can't be because he's been draining them all night?

Can sympathise re the after pains rhi, I think mine were worse than my actual labour!

 

[Becyboo__x]

Waters broke 7.30 and baby Alice was born at 8.30
Made it to the hospital as I started to push!
Three good pushes and she was out =)
8Lb 8. No stitches etc. Just waiting on the baby Dr then we can go home! =)

Yay Rhi!! So she did come earlier than the others did, so happy for you! Congratulations and well done X

Becy which formula are you using now and which were you using before? What was wrong with Sydney? X

We was using cow and gate I only used that because I did with my son and had no problems .. But I know each baby is different, now we changed to Sma pro .. I didn't know which to use I don't really know much about which is better

She basically had stomach pain and colic as far as I know midwifes I saw after having her didn't know anything or didn't really know what to tell me just says to see a doctor to get prescribed milk if it continued but I didn't think it needed to go to that .. Just seemt the other milk was upsetting her stomach..

She gets her wind up no problem .. It seems to be more stomach and going for poos so likely constipation it was the opposite her going all the time but changed to her crying and straining we used colief drops which helped but now just on the Sma milk with nothing added seems a lot better anyway x

Lol yep second nightly feed here. First one was my prior post.

She went 5 hours before her first feed! Fed at 615pm and then at 11pm (went down to sleep at 730pm). I was hoping her second feed wold be at 3am or 4am but that was hoping for too much lol she woke at 245am and seemed pretty hungry.

Fingers crossed she goes back to sleep. Holding her upright now.

Last night my tiny terrorist wouldn't go to sleep till 11pm. She got up for a feed at 2am and then up for the day at 4.30 and has just gone back to sleep at 8am the little witch

How are you doing Rhi? Are you home?

 

[AngelofTroy]

Juniper cluster feeds until at least 11 every night! She usually goes down nearer midnight then wakes at 3/4am and then sleeps til 7ish.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Georgie usually goes to bed at 9ish. But she normally falls flat out asleep before I've even put her in bed and list night she was so grumbly and unsettled

 

[Teeny Weeny]

A huge congratulations Rhi. She is gorgeous. Xx

 

[tinkerbelle93]

You at home yet rhi? X

Haven't had a good start to the day, I went to bed early with Henry to attempt getting at least a tiny bit more sleep so DH stayed up and sorted out DS1 ect. I was up constantly through the night last night barely got a few hours sleep then went downstairs this morning with Henry still screaming and he hadn't bothered tidying the kitchen last night and it was an absolute disgusting state. Sounds stupid but just really annoyed me because he just sat there last night watching TV or whatever ignoring it then went up to bed for his full nights sleep knowing full well he was going to leave it all for me to do in the morning when in shattered with a pounding headache. So started the day with a big argument before he went to work. Sorry just needed to vent somewhere!

 

[Tinky_82]

Congratulations Rhi she's beautiful. Sorry about the after pains - I was told to alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen

 

[Tinky_82]

Sorry about DH Tink I don't think they do it on purpose - they just generally don't think about stuff like that.
Casey was really unsettled last night I think he's really struggling with wind.

 

[Boo44]

Becy that's what Arthur is like, straining and crying with his bowels, he only goes every 48hrs but it's normal consistency and not hard. I've changed him to HiPP as its supposed to be gentle on the tummy. I'm taking him to Drs this am as he's had conjunctivitis all weekend and it hasn't gone with the usual cooled boiled water bathing it, so I think he needs drops its yellow all down his cheek now! Im going to mention the straining and see what they say xx

Rhi - Congratulations! What a speedy delivery, I'm glad you made it to the hospital on time

Becy - gorgeous photo, I love her little dress Happy 1 month to Sydney


DD has a lot of short sleeve tops and shortie rompers for when she's a little older but I'm worried about her getting cold in them please tell me I'm not the only one with these silly worries!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I worry too vaniila! Juni has tons of lovely summer stuff but it just isn't that warm. I also worry about the sun My son is an october birthday so he didn't wear sun cream until he was probably 8+ months? I feel like sun cream is a lot of chemicals for newborn skin but obviously I don't want her to burn, I keep her covered and in the shade as much as I can but I do worry.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I have lots of summery things too but it's not been warm enough at all, I don't think I will worry about him wearing then if we have some super warm heat waves though. Although going being a June baby lots of people bought us newborn size summer outfits that I don't think he will get the chance to wear now!

What size clothes are everyone's babies in? Henrys newborn stuff is starting to look very snug and just about perfectly fits so I think another week or so and he will be too big for them but I've tried his 0-3 stuff and it's massive!

 

[vaniilla]

Summer has been pants this year, I was grateful when I was pregnant and permanently sweaty/roasting but I'd like some summer now I'm glad it's not just me worrying about clothes, they seemed like a good idea in the shop I've bought some child's farm sun cream which is supposed to have minimal chemicals.

Tink - she's in new baby/7.5lb clothes which fit her snugly now, newborn fits a bit loosely and 0-3 completely swamps her which typical, is what most of her clothes are!

 

[AngelofTroy]

Juniper is too long for most newborn now but 0-3 still looks big. We have some "up to 1 month" which is perfect now.

 

[Starlight32]

Tinkerbelle, that is so annoying! I would be upset too.

I worry about sun too. But also heat instead of cold because it's been in the 80s here. I want to take her out for walks but it's either too sunny or too hot! I don't think spf is recommended for babies under six months.

Hannah's already in 3-6 month clothes! Lol she was wearing them at three weeks instead of three months. We had a lot of newborn and 0-3 month thongs she never wore. Most were gifts though.

 

[Squig34]

Róise strains a lot too but it doesn't mean a poo. & she goes a couple of times a day with normal consistency, so I don't know what the problem is.
We're changing over to a heavier formula at night (we've been using aptamil) to see if she'll sleep longer - I've been up since 4.50am. Going to shower then hopefully nap before massages at 2pm!
Róise is now outgrowing the newborn/first size/up to one month stuff - because of her legs! Still turning the arms up! She also has about 350million short sleeve vests for 0-3 months because I'm an idiot & thought I didn't have many, so I got more & exchanged smaller ones for that size. No way she'll manage to wear them all! I put leggings/socks/cardis on as necessary so she can wear all the cute summer stuff. I've washed everything so tags are all off. People gave us so much!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Georgie is just going into newborn size. She's long enough but some things look like a sack of spuds because she's too skinny.

I've been worried about summer clothes too but she's got a Romper on today. I'll put a cardy on her and a blanket on her legs if we go out but it's so sunny today she needed cooler clothes.

As for suncream I won't put any on her till next summer. For this year we'll just keep her in the shade or covered up.

Congratulations rhi, she's beautiful.

Tink- Arthur is in up to 1 month but I can't see it lasting much longer, he fills it out in length pretty well at the moment. I haven't tried him in 0-3 months yet so not sure how they will fit.
I did put him in 2 of his newborn outfits yesterday but he is to long for them.
